The Coast | News, events, restaurants, concerts and Burger Week for Halifax, Nova Scotia
Home of the Best of Halifax Reader's Choice Awards, the award-winning independent newspaper covers the Halifax news, politics, events, concerts, movies, restaurants, and nightlife scene.
Wtf is up with all these little kiddy gangs harassing people and acting “gangster” sure a few of them have legit ties to REAL crime but wtf, I felt a hell of a lot safer in Halifax when the H’s Angels clubhouse was still in Fairview. If you look at the statistics violent youth crime has gone up since then.

I’m 100% behind this post! Maybe The Coast should read these posts on their columns,because if some of the clicks,like Miranda,Nicole,Bad Guy,Miles and few others are actually parents theirselves,well it’s no brainer of why these kids are the way they are,having parents like these kind of people.
I have kids. Damn useful they are. I’ve taught them to shift from the passenger seat so I don’t have to put my beer down.
hahahaha thank you Miranda! I’m defiantly laughing over laugh at that one 😉
Find out where the little bastards congregate and blast some Barry Manilow at them. A few verses of Copacababa at full blast should reduce them to a quivering puddle of hoodies. Or have the Guardian Angels pantz them – shouldn’t be too hard to do with those retardo pants with the crotches around their calves.
hey has anyone heard of those buzzy things many european cities have? it’s a frequency that only young ears can hear- really annoying, and supposedly keeps them away from certain areas just as well as Barry 😉 I believe TD bank on Quinpool may have one…it always buzzes at least when I walk past….
TTFN, you may have read about the same study I did, where they found that the Manilow tunes were the most annoying, and therefore the most effective with the gang problem… A shopping centre near where I used to live had a teen punk problem, but Barry saved the day… I think he may have even received some industry accolades for his work in this area… I’m not sure about that part though…Myself, I always thought that a blast of MacArthur Park at about 80db would be at least as effective as a can of bear mace “And I’ll never have that recipe againnnnnnnn…. LaLaLa” ARGHHHH Kill me now…
Good one Miranda! I saw a shirt in the mall that said “My Daddy drinks because I cry.” Cracked me up!
There should be a spay and neuter program for parents of these little thugs so they can’t breed anymore. For the existing thugs, they need a serious kick right square in the arse!
Actually, I got the idea from a Doonesbury cartoon. He probably based the idea on that study.
Tiny Tim screaming ‘Tiptoe Thru the Tulips’ in falsetto at 80-100 db might make them jump into the Harbour like lemmings. Oh, what a feast for the eyes that would be.
almost as good as whatever deformities they’d be sporting when they emerge…….who knows? maybe they’ll grow some sort of tail that will at least keep their pants up…and possible give them awesome powers of climbing and other shennanigans 😉
Wait, how did you know I had kids? I didn’t know I mentioned it. Oh well… She’s not old enough to be a G as is the topic of this post. Also, why’s everyone always hating on the Bad Guy? As in you? I dedicated a whole post in admiration to you. Shame on you Alison, shame on you.
